May 2016 – Gin Night

For our May 2016 tasting, we’ll be turning our attention to a favourite summer drink – gin! We’ve got a fantastic selection of gins from around the world, with a couple distilleries from right here in BC. Being one of the broadest categories of spirits, each gin represents its own unique origin, style, and flavour profile, yet they all revolve around juniper as a common ingredient.

Our tasting this month will be hosted at Okanagan Spirits distillery on Bernard Ave. We’re excited to get a bit of education on the gin distilling process and see how our own local favourite compares with styles from the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. We’ll also have samples of tonic to pair with – because who doesn’t love a good G&T?
